OctaviaConAmore,

@maddievision @nuz Oh my, this is wonderful! It feels like this would push me to skip and dance along :zerotwo_excited:​

Musk in November: Fuck you.

Some Twitters users: Find me on (insert platform).

Many Twitter users: Is this thing on? Shit, I need to get back to Twitter. Stay and Fight! Mastodon sucks!

Musk in (circle one: Dec/Jan/Feb/March): Fuck you.

Many Twitter users: I'm waiting for Bluesky. Stay and Fight. Mastodon sucks. Post is boring, but here's a screen shot of my Twitter post. Don't even know what the fediverse may be.

Musk in April: Welcome back for the Trump arraignment and fuck you.

Many Twitter users:

Musk in July: Fuck you.

Many Twitter users: I need a Bluesky invite!

Zuckerberg in July: And a fuck you, Elon.

Many Twitter users: Yes! We love it! Wait...who the fuck are these IG influencers? You know, this just isn't working for me. Oh, and the fediverse is a failure. You people suck the most.

OctaviaConAmore,

@chargrille @Hey_Beth The best part about it here is that the edit logs are there for everyone to see. Quick correction? No worries. Editing it to say something completely different but trying to pretend otherwise? Everybody gets to see :leafeon_giggle:​

I'm finding myself hamstrung by video thumbnails (or the lack thereof). If I try to do them myself (example attached), it ends up being THE thing that gets in the way of me ever posting videos at all because of the hurdle it is :axolotl_shock:​ :axolotl_cry:​

Would anyone be willing to help me by slapping together a video-frame+title+related pic sort of quick and easy thumbnail for me every week or so? :shiba_please:​ I'm not sure what I can trade in return, but I'm hoping I have skills of interest for people :bear_love:​

I'm trying to recommend instances to a friend and wondering what other instance's character limits are. I know tech.lgbt has 1024 (very in-theme), and yiff.life has...4k? :neko_question:​ Otherwise, I'm drawing a complete blank :bunhd_thonk:​

Can y'all tell me what yours are on your instance? :cat_ooh:​

OctaviaConAmore, to music

:zerotwo_learn:​ I wrote a short version of Always With You for a wedding I did a few weeks back, but I'm finally getting around to extending it to my more usual-length arrangement (while adding an extra harmony part) :panda_yay:​ :zerotwo_excited:​

OctaviaConAmore,

@bit @ivy Wait, wait, wait, Threads has no hashtags? :axolotl_shock:

OctaviaConAmore,

@ricardoharvin Who couda fuckin' guessed :bear_shrug: /s

OctaviaConAmore,

@ricardoharvin Wait, Stux? Really? :fennekin_gasp: I'm gonna have to see this to actually believe it :leafeon_giggle:

I'll be very glad if that's true. That'd be one less major instance federating with Meta :espeon_love:

OctaviaConAmore,

@ricardoharvin Convoluted or just thorough? :flareon_sip: :jolteon_giggle:

OctaviaConAmore, to violinist

I think this post is my first to top 100 faves (and almost caught up in boosts to my Merry-go-round of Life post that got helped by @Curator ): https://cutie.city/@OctaviaConAmore/110657841372876677

It's both a wonderful and an odd feeling :cat_mlem:

On one hand, that's a lot of people that found my thoughts worth their time and attention :cat_wow: :espeon_love:

On the other hand, my most faved post is words, not music (which runs counter to my usual sort-of-self-depricating motto of "I'm a musician, not a wordsmith" :blobfox_laugh_sweat: )

:blobhaj_think: Huh...does this mean I can finally give myself permission to call myself a bard without adding an asterisk? :zerotwo_flushed: :dracthyr_yay:

#Musician #MusicianLife #Violinist #Performer #Bard :neko_question: #Musings

p.s. I haven't yet started in on the 4th video, but it's one of my favourites (though I don't know how popular it'll be).

OctaviaConAmore,

@nuz But, but, I didn't get the class-change notification or the sound effects! :leafeon_giggle:

In all seriousness, thank you :bear_hug: I'm not very good at taking compliments, but...it...it feels nice :zerotwo_blush:

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @miona I can see a lot of things being recommended like main menu, snow levels, hyped, makes you cry, etc, but the one I want to see, the one that a bunch of games go WAY too hard on is...

    Staff rolls/credits :bugcat_nod:​

    I can think of at least a handful off the top of my head that'd be good submissions for it :zerotwo_learn:​ (ex: Mario 64, Zelda: Windwaker, Ace Combat Zero, Octopath Traveler, Chrono Trigger)

    I still cant tell the difference between liking someone and wanting to be someone

    well not with guys at least, but stilllll

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @ivy Saaaame. Over a year into transition and it's almost never clear which it is :kitty_sad:​

    OctaviaConAmore, to random

    :growlithe_hmm:​ I'm not quite sure what's going on, but alt-text won't display in my browser anymore. Usually, when I expand a picture, it'll display clean at first, and bring up buttons + alt-text if I left-click once.

    :bear_shrug:​ Aaaand now it doesn't?

    I've failed to find settings that pertain to it and anything I've found in my various searches tells me how to add alt-text to my pics, not how to change the way other people's alt-text displays :zerotwo_cry:​ :zerotwo_dead:​

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @nuz Nope, not a single clue, unfortunately. For the record, I was having these issues on Firefox. (I didn't think to switch to another to check :blobfox_laugh_sweat: )

    agatha, to random

    fugtrup literally the best artist with 3D porn, manages to go from thicc mei to femboy link (you probably seen it already), then to re4:r ashley AND THEY'RE ALL AWESOME
    they're so great i love them
    also nintendo takes down the link stuff which is funny

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @agatha Their art is absolutely top-tier. As a bi lass, I absolutely approve :ms_100_bisexual:​

    OctaviaConAmore, to mentalhealth

    :sip_tea:​ Here's a reminder to all of you cuties out there to water yourself :vaporeon_sip:​ (and your plants if you have them).

    :pink_moon_and_stars:​ Bonus points: Stretch your forearms (all sides).
    :rainbow_bugcat:​ Extra bonus points: Stretch your chest.

    OctaviaConAmore, to violinist

    When I put a video up on Youtube, I post on here, Insta, and FB. I literally get 10 times the reactions on here as I do on either of the others :axolotl_shock:​ :blobhaj_heart:​

    I've literally only been on the fedi for half a year, yet it's both better for my music and for my own enjoyment :zerotwo_hearts:​

    Considering the userbase here isn't even that big, it really feels like a quality-over-quantity situation :charmander_yay:​

    OctaviaConAmore, to random

    Sooo I went from mastodon.lol (dead) to tech.lgbt (online) to vulpine.club (soon to be dead) to cutie.city (online).

    My tech.lgbt account redirects to vulpine.club, which itself redirects to cutie.city.

    So... :blobhaj_think:​ Since vulpine.club will go down, should I cancel my tech.lgbt → vulpine.club redirect and redirect it to cutie.city? Would there be complications? Would it blow anything up on this account? :cat_think:​ (and, I suppose, is my intuition that vulpine.club going down will create issues for this account correct?)

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @miona Good luck! :zerotwo_hearts:​ I'm hoping Japan's trans laws will change enough for me to be comfortable before I spend another chunk of my life there ("back home" for me, for better or worse)

    Does anyone happen to know a way to avoid the character limitation on Mastodon?
    I've seen quite a few very long posts around and since I'm pretty wordy, I'd love nothing more than to avoid this limitation...
    Advice would be highly appreciated!

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @harmonycorrupted Some instances have higher limits. cutie.city is 6k, for instance. The default is 500 so a lot of instances just leave it, unfortunately :kitty_sad:

    studiofox, to random

    Threads app privacy/“data linked to you” is tripping ballz

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @studiofox @ampersand Makes sense. They don't want a bunch of money, a ton of money, or "more money than any other corp", they want all of the money, infinite money. For that, they need infinite data.

    Quite reasonable, really :zerotwo_learn: /s

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @reina @studiofox @ampersand Oh definitely :espeon_love:​ I've been watching them for a looong time, though I haven't really watched any videos in the last few months.

    Though she's not alone in the banging of the drums, she's definitely been pivotal to my overall view of gaming corporations :bugcat_nod:​

    Huh...I just realised, "they [corpos] don't want a bunch of money, they don't want a metric fuckton of money, they want ALL of the money" is a paraphrasing of their words, isn't it. I'd forgotten the source :blobfox_laugh_sweat:​

    OctaviaConAmore,

    @reina @studiofox @ampersand Oh, I thought they used she/them. I guess I'll have to look it up again.

    Her stuff is honestly a national treasure at this point. It feels like you're not alone in going from "why can't we all just get along" to "ah hell, gotta do something about this cesspool" :leafeon_giggle:​ :espeon_love:​

    OctaviaConAmore, to violinist

    I hate the waiting :zerotwo_rage: :zerotwo_dead:

    All the work went into the video already :bugcat_work: I made all of the posts on all of the platforms. I can't even bosst the one on here because it's been all of 1 hour since I made it :blobfox_laugh_sweat:

    And now, I just sit here, hoping it gets enough eye-balls to please the algorithm into giving me more eyeballs so that I might, just maybe survive :ditto_yikes:

    Also, I feel like I would feel guilty if I posted a mutual aid post? Not quite sure...need to munch on that a bit more :psyduck_sweat:

    I wish I had had the medical support to start this half a lifetime ago. Or maybe not? Then I'd have even more videos on my channel featuring not-me (though, even now, the video that has 50 times the views of the next most watched is the old caretaker of this body :cat_dead: )
